Your Own Private Show

May 26, 2006

You don't have to hit the Allstate for a great concert this weekend--just go online to music.aol.com and search for Rock in Rio. At 8 p.m. Friday, you'll see Jamiroquai followed by Shakira. Go back at 8 p.m. Saturday to see The Darkness and Guns N' Roses.

To linger

After you see "X-Men: The Last Stand" this weekend, make sure you stick around for a short surprise--yet revealing--clip after the ending credits. The film's creators say it will change your view of the movie you just saw. Hmmmmmmmm.

To plan

Summer's almost here, and that means free Movies in the Park! "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "King Kong" and "The Producers" are on tap for outdoor film showings at more than 110 Chicago area parks through September. A complete sked will be announced Friday at chicagoparkdistrict.com.

To meet

To kick off Gay Pride Month, podcasters Feast of Fools will produce a live recording of their hit program from the Apple Store at 679 N. Michigan Ave. from 7 to 8 p.m. Saturday. There will be a Q&A afterward.
